Relevance: Several x86-64 boards have Broadcom NICs (including mine) Problem: The Debian kernel maintainer is removing tg3 and other drivers with unlicensed firmware from the kernel. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=239952 You can help: I've opened up a ticket with Broadcom requesting that they release their NIC firmware as Open Source or release specs for the NIC so it can be worked around. Please do NOT reply to this list, starting a giant flamewar. Please ask Broadcom nicely for Open Source firmware or NIC specs.
